In Bangladesh’s Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), school often represents Adivasi (indigenous) children’s first encounter with the dominant Bangla culture. The Shishur Khamatayan Project (SKP) aims to transform this encounter through a bilingual and bicultural preschool curriculum. This chapter evaluates the approach. We compare SKP’s curricular model to alternative preschool models prevalent in the CHT. The comparison reveals that SKP children significantly outperform their counterparts in language development, quantitative reasoning, and environmental and cultural awareness; are more engaged; and have more participatory learning environments. However, SKP is not significantly associated with performance in writing and in letter recognition, and community members face complex conflicts about language in education. This chapter highlights the promise of bilingual and bicultural education to enable learning in the classroom, but also points to the practical challenges of such an approach, especially in moving beyond preschool.
